Nomination for an upcoming program

International Conference on Fintech and Banking: Future of Financial Services and RegulationIn collaboration with New Development Bank, Shanghai and ICAS, Europe.

November 26, 2018 to November 27, 2018

Hotel Trident, Mumbai

Conference Objective

Currently, the world is witnessing progressive unbundling of banking and the increasing use of advanced technologies in banking and financial intermediation. Innovative use of these advanced technologies is being primarily driven by “Fintech Companies”. These fintech innovations and their use are creating disruptive tendencies in the financial sectors.

BRICS countries have also been witnessing these disruptive changes. Fintech applications help financial intermediaries design new financial products and promote financial inclusion, sustainable development, green finance and sustainable infrastructure. Also, there have been incidents across BRICS countries of misuse fintech applications for facilitating financial crimes. Again, use of fintechs especially in the matter of private digital currencies has potential implications for financial stability. These developments demand timely and optimal regulatory response, sometime beyond the defined contours of extant financial regulations.

The Conference brings together officials of Central Banks, Development Banks, Commercial Banks and Financial Technology Companies of BRICS countries.

The Conference will deliberate on practical and policy-level issues on various aspects relating to fintech, banking, financial service business and financial regulation
